Hokori were one of the biggest surprises to come out of the last month for the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit, bringing back arguably their strongest lineup ahead of ...

Hokori is headed home from their first TI appearance in a tie for 13th place and more than $250,000 as a reward for an incredible run. But, despite showing the world they were able to compete with some of the best teams during the group stage, the South American underdog sealed their own fate in the playoffs. That little bit of SA betrayal motivated them to play even better to prove that it was the wrong decision, however.

From a one percent chance to toppling champs: BOOM Esports ... (Dot Esports)

BOOM Esports came into The International 2022 playoffs after overcoming a 99.6 percent chance of elimination, and now they have kept their run alive by ...

That moment quickly spiraled into an unstoppable push from BOOM that would end Spirit’s hopes of claiming another Aegis. Despite that, they still had a good regular season and entered as the defending TI champions, with many fans picking them to complete the first full-lower bracket run to a TI victory in Dota history. When looking at the group stage performance, this actually doesn’t look like much since Spirit struggled to pull themselves together and were locked into the lower bracket and an elimination game.

Team Spirit eliminated at 16th from The International 2022 (WIN.gg)

The reigning champion will leave the event with just $254,500, a far cry from its TI11 winnings. BOOM will now advance to the next round of the lower bracket, ...

The Chinese juggernaut ramped up hard in the group stage to reach The International 2022 playoffs, and its level of TI experience is second to none. Team Spirit is out of The International at 16th place after losing to BOOM Esports in the first round of the loser’s bracket. If BOOM somehow manages to outmaneuver PSG.LGD, it would count as another insane upset in the history of The International. Now that it has taken down Team Spirit, BOOM may pull off the traditional Cinderella story expected at The International. The squad earned first place at Gamers Galaxy Dubai and two tours of the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit. However, BOOM’s superior team fight turned things around.

Entity wins 107-minute elimination game at TI11, the longest game ... (ONE Esports)

Entity and RNG breaks the record for the longest game in TI11 Main Event history after their lower bracket elimination game reached 107 minutes.

Entity is now set to face the loser of Team Aster and Team Liquid’s upper bracket quarterfinal match on October 22 at 10:00 a.m. RNG played valiantly, but the team eventually lost control of their base at the 107-minute mark. With their Dire Ancient exposed, Entity played more cautiously which caused the game to run even longer. The game was surprisingly even as both teams leaned on the strengths of their drafts. It took the Western European squad 107 minutes and a whole lot of Divine Rapiers to defeat their Chinese rivals in the lower bracket of the TI11 Playoffs. As a result, Yap “xNova” Jian Wei was the only player from RNG who made his walkout in front of the live crowd in Singapore.

The only game longer than this at a TI was a group stage bout between iG Vitality and Team Empire at TI7 that lasted two hours and eight minutes. This is due to his four teammates contracting COVID and being forced to play from isolation since midway through the group stage. If tired Dota 2 fans were looking for a quick final game to end the opening day of The International 2022 main event, neither Entity nor Royal Never Give Up were looking to oblige.

Did fishman BM RNG when Entity won in the TI11 playoffs (ClutchPoints)

Dota 2 fans accused fishman of bad manners "BM" after he paused the game as Entity rushed RNG's throne in Dota 2 The International 2022.

Fishman and Entity have both cleared the air, and it seems like RNG has no ill feelings towards Entity. I guess it happened when i hitted headset on the keyboard. Another supporting evidence is fishman’s [in-game perspective at the time](https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/y8ybt9/fishman_pause_player_perspective/), which saw his cursor drag the screen to a corner – a sign that the player lost control of their mouse and is hands-off with both the keyboard and of the mouse. At the closing moments of the game, Entity pushed against RNG’s throne and, before GGs were called, the game was paused by fishman. It was the closing game of Day 1 of The International 2022 Playoffs, and it turned out to be a grindfest, dragging the game to 107 minutes before ending, officially recording the longest main stage TI match in history. Moments before GGs were called, fans watching the broadcast saw fishman pause the game, an act that is seen by many in the Dota 2 community as an act of “BM” or bad manners – basically unsportsmanlike behavior.

As the game paused before RNG’s Ancient fell, so did Entity’s celebration, as players were equally confused as the crowd. It looks like Fishman’s wild headset somehow found its way to the player’s pause hotkey, which also caught Entity players off-guard.
